A jury acquitted an East Bangor pair Friday of having sex with and giving liquor, drugs and cigarettes to a girl in Coolbaugh Township in July 2011, when she was 13.

Christopher Hickler, 32, and Cassandra Smith, 27, were cleared of allegations made by the girl after she had been living with them in Coolbaugh for about a month. Hickler and Smith were friends of the girl’s mother at the time.
